Abstract

This review focuses on typical and atypical manifestations of neurosyphilis. The manifestations of neurosyphilis are manyfold and may involve many specialties. Today, clinicians have limited experience with the well-described manifestations of neurosyphilis. Many screening opportunities for men who have sex with men might catch the majority of cases of syphilis in this group. However, a concern could be if disclosure about heterosexuality or, in general, monosymptomatic neurosyphilis constitute a risk for delayed diagnosis.
